Abstract 

Forests, their productivity, serve as a sensitive indicator of the impact of climate change on the environment. Remote sensing data are used for regular monitoring of the state of the forest cover and assessment of the primary growth of wood biomass. In this study, using the MOD17A3HGF product from the TERRA/MODIS satellite, an assessment of the condition of the forests of the territory of the Carpathian National Nature Park (CNPP) for the period from 2000 to 2022 is given. The change in the increase in net primary productivity (npp) during the study is shown, the average and maximum values of the increase are established, and map of the spatial distribution of npp is given. The classification of the CNPP territory was carried out based on data from the Landsat 8 satellite and it was determined that the maximum values of net primary productivity are given by the "coniferous forests" class.
